  • Diminished electrical characteristics due to increased wiring resistance have become a problem in this type of multilayer board that uses micro-wiring and an extremely small via diameter. Specifically, increased wiring resistance creates a situation in which the power source voltage supplied is insufficient for operating the semiconductor element, and the system fails to operate.

  • the power supply can therefore be stabilized, and stable operation of the semiconductor element can be realized.
  • the wiring board has ground wiring; and a via whose cross-sectional shape in the plane parallel to the wiring layers is obtained by the partial overlapping of a plurality of similar shapes is electrically connected to the ground wiring.
  • the wiring resistance can be reduced in the ground wiring that has the same function as the power system, and the electrical characteristics thereof are enhanced. Therefore, stable operation of the semiconductor element can be realized.

  • the wiring resistance of the signal wiring can be reduced, and degradation of the signal characteristics can be suppressed for a circuit in which low resistance is required because of considerations related to signal characteristics.
  • the wiring board has a via end that is disposed further outside than the via end closest to the center point of the next adjacent end shape in the via shape.
  • the similar shapes are round.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a wiring board for mounting a semiconductor element, and to a method for manufacturing the same. The present invention particularly relates to a wiring board in which the connection via structure of the power source and ground is improved, and to a method for manufacturing the same.
2. Description of the Related Art
Examples of the heretofore used wiring boards for mounting a semiconductor element include ceramic wiring boards such as the one disclosed in Japanese Laid-open Patent Application No. 8-330474 that uses alumina or another insulating material; build-up substrates such as those disclosed in Japanese Laid-open Patent Application No. 11-17058 and Japanese Patent No. 2679681, in which an organic resin is used as the insulating material, and a micro-circuit is formed by forming copper wiring using an etching method and a plating method; and the tape-type substrate disclosed in Japanese Laid-open Patent Application No. 2000-58701, in which copper wiring is formed in a polyimide-based film or other film.
Recently developed boards for mounting a semiconductor element generally employ a build-up substrate that can be adapted to narrow-pitch connections. However, increased density is particularly sought in electronic devices such as mobile telephones. This demand results from rapid progress in miniaturization, thickness reduction, and increased density, as well as the increase in the number of terminals that accompanies increased speed and functionality of semiconductor elements.
Particularly in build-up substrates for mounting semiconductor elements, it has become possible to stably provide a minute pattern having a wiring pattern width of 25 μm and a via diameter of about 70 μm. However, the circuit dimensions that a build-up substrate must accommodate are increasing due to increases in performance and functionality of semiconductor elements. It is therefore not uncommon for the layer count to reach ten or more even when micro-wiring and an extremely small via diameter is used.
Diminished electrical characteristics due to increased wiring resistance have become a problem in this type of multilayer board that uses micro-wiring and an extremely small via diameter. Specifically, increased wiring resistance creates a situation in which the power source voltage supplied is insufficient for operating the semiconductor element, and the system fails to operate. A method for providing a plurality of vias having the same shape is employed as a measure for overcoming this problem, but this method has problems in that the surface area used exclusively by the vias and the conductor connected to the vias increases, making it more difficult to increase the density.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide a wiring board that is capable of enabling the stable operation of a semiconductor element by minimizing obstacles to increased density by giving the cross-sectional shape of the via a shape in which portions of a plurality of similar shapes overlap, effectively increasing the cross-sectional area of the via, and preventing the wiring resistance from increasing, and to provide a method for manufacturing the same.

In an example of the wiring board according to the present invention, the wiring board has signal wiring; and a via whose cross-sectional shape in the plane parallel to the wiring layers is obtained by the partial overlapping of a plurality of similar shapes is electrically connected to the signal wiring.
According to the present invention, the wiring resistance of the signal wiring can be reduced, and degradation of the signal characteristics can be suppressed for a circuit in which low resistance is required because of considerations related to signal characteristics.
In an example of the wiring board according to the present invention, the wiring board has a via end that is disposed further outside than the via end closest to the center point of the next adjacent end shape in the via shape.

With laser machining in particular, the same shapes can be machined, but forming different shapes only in specific positions is difficult to accomplish. Therefore, specialized machining is dispensed with by creating a shape from partially overlapping similar or identical shapes, and machining can easily be performed with no change in manufacturing cost or output.
By partially placing the longitudinal axis in the direction in which there is excess area when the wiring is routed, adverse effects that cause reduced wiring density can be minimized, and the cross-sectional area of the vias can be effectively increased.
Resistance in the vias can be minimized by increasing the cross-sectional area of the vias. Using such vias in a power circuit or a ground circuit makes it possible to supply an adequate power supply voltage, and stable operation of a semiconductor element can be achieved. This approach can also be used in part in signal wiring in which the wiring resistance is strictly regulated, whereby deterioration of the characteristics of the semiconductor element can be reduced.

 DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. The wiring board according to a first embodiment of the present invention will first be described. FIG. 1A is a plan view showing a portion of the wiring board of the present embodiment, and FIG. 1B is a sectional view of the same. In the wiring board shown in FIG. 1, a first wiring layer 11 is provided on a foundation (carrier) board 10, an insulating layer 12 is provided on the first wiring layer 11, and a second wiring layer 13 is furthermore formed on the insulating layer 12. The first wiring layer 11 and the second wiring layer 13 are connected to each other by a via 16 composed of a via hole 14 provided inside the insulating layer 12 and a conductor 15 embedded in the via hole 14.
The carrier board 10 is composed of a material whereby the surface that is in contact with the bottom face of the first wiring layer 11 has insulating properties. A printed board or a board that is composed of a ceramic, a metal, a resin material, silicon, GaAs, sapphire, or the like, and is a rigid material that enables wiring to be formed on the surface thereof may be used as the carrier board 10 insofar as the surface thereof has insulating properties. Furthermore, a board that is already provided with a circuit and composed of a single layer or multiple layers may be used as the carrier board 10. A printed board is used as the carrier board 10 in the present embodiment.
The first wiring layer 11 is provided on the carrier board 10. In cases in which, a circuit is provided to the carrier board 10, the first wiring layer 11 may be electrically connected to this circuit. The primary component of the first wiring layer 11 is one or more types of metal selected from the group consisting of copper, gold, nickel, aluminum, silver, and palladium, but copper is most preferred for its low resistance and comparatively low cost.
The first wiring layer 11 is formed as described above from copper, for example, and has a thickness of 15 μm, for example. The first wiring layer 11 is formed, for example, by a subtractive method, a semi-additive method, a full additive method, or another method. The subtractive method is a method for obtaining the desired pattern by forming a resist in the desired pattern on a copper foil provided on a board, etching the excess foil, and then peeling off the resist. The semi-additive method is a method for obtaining the desired wiring pattern by forming a power supply layer by electroless plating, sputtering, CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition), or another method, then forming a resist having the desired pattern, depositing metal in the open portion of the resist by an electroplating method, removing the resist, and etching the power supply layer. The full additive method is a method for obtaining the desired wiring pattern by causing an electroless plating catalyst to be adsorbed onto a board, then forming a pattern in a resist, activating the catalyst with the resist still remaining as an insulating film, and depositing metal in the open portion of the insulating film by an electroless plating method. A method may also be used in which a concave portion as the wiring pattern is formed in advance in the insulating layer (not shown in the drawing) to which the first wiring layer 11 is provided, and a power supply layer is formed by electroless plating, sputtering, CVD, or another method, after which the concave portion is filled with plating metal by electroless plating or electroplating, and the surface is prepared by polishing.
The insulating layer 12 is formed from an organic material or an inorganic material that is photosensitive or non-photosensitive, for example. Examples of organic materials that may be used include epoxy resin, epoxy acrylate resin, urethane acrylate resin, polyester resin, phenol resin, polyimide resin, BCB (benzocyclobutene), PBO (polybenzoxazole), polynorbornene resin, and the like; and glass cloth or woven cloth formed from aramid fibers or the like, or nonwoven cloth impregnated with epoxy resin, epoxy acrylate resin, urethane acrylate resin, polyester resin, phenol resin, polyimide resin, BCB, PBO (polybenzoxazole), polynorbornene resin, or the like. Polyimide resin, PBO, and materials that use a woven cloth or nonwoven cloth have excellent film strength, tensile strength, elongation at break, and other mechanical characteristics, and can therefore produce a high degree of reliability. Examples of inorganic materials that can be used include silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, silicon carbide, low-k (low dielectric constant) materials, alumina, aluminum nitride, glass ceramics, and other materials.
The via 16 is composed of a via hole 14 provided in the insulating layer 12 and an internally disposed conductor 15. The cross-sectional shape of the via 16 in the plane parallel to the first wiring layer 11 or the second wiring layer 13 is obtained by the partial overlapping of a plurality of similar shapes. The cross-sectional shape of the via 16 always has an end that is located further outside than the end closest to the center point of the next adjacent end shape. Adopting this shape causes the direction of the longitudinal edge to conform to the shape in which the wiring is routed, whereby the cross-sectional area of the via 16 can be effectively increased without hindering increased density. A round shape or a polygonal shape may also be used as the similar shape used in the via 16. Examples of this polygonal shape include an octagon, a hexagon, a quadrilateral, a rhombus, a trapezoid, a triangle, or the like. The polygon may also have curved apexes. However, a round shape is particularly suitable as the similar shape in the via 16.
When a photosensitive material is used, the via hole 14 is formed by photolithography in accordance with the cross-sectional shape of the via 16. When a non-photosensitive material or a photosensitive material having a low pattern resolution is used, the via hole 14 is formed by laser machining, dry etching, or blasting. Since such via holes 14 are formed one at a time by laser machining, the cross-sectional shape of the via 16 of the present invention can be obtained by performing laser machining so that some of the holes overlap. When the via 16 is formed by a process in which a plated post is formed in advance in the position of the via 16, after which an insulating film is formed, the surface of the insulating film is ground down by polishing, and the plated post is exposed, there is no need to provide the via hole 14 in advance to the insulating layer 12.
The conductor 15 is electrically connected to the first wiring layer 11 and the second wiring layer 13. The primary material constituting the conductor 15 is composed of at least one type of material selected from the group consisting of copper, aluminum, gold, silver, nickel, a soldering material, and a conductive paste. The conductor 15 is preferably formed from either copper or a soldering material, or a combination thereof, because of the low resistance and low cost of these materials in particular. The conductor 15 may be formed along the inner wall of the via hole 14 so as to cover this inner surface, as shown in FIG. 3A, or may be formed so as to fill the inside of the via hole 14, as shown in FIG. 3B. The conductor 15 may also be formed at the same time as the second wiring layer 13.
As previously mentioned, the second wiring layer 13 is formed from copper, for example, and has a thickness of 15 μm, for example. The second wiring layer 13 may be formed, for example, by a subtractive method, a semi-additive method, a full additive method, or another method. The subtractive method is a method for obtaining the desired pattern by forming a resist in the desired pattern on a copper foil provided on a board, etching the excess foil, and then peeling off the resist. The semi-additive method is a method for obtaining the desired wiring pattern by forming a power supply layer by electroless plating, sputtering, CVD, or another method, then forming a resist having the desired pattern, depositing metal in the open portion of the resist by an electroplating method, removing the resist, and etching the power supply layer. The full additive method is a method for obtaining the desired wiring pattern by causing an electroless plating catalyst to be adsorbed onto a board, then forming a pattern in a resist, activating the catalyst with the resist still remaining as an insulating film, and depositing metal in the open portion of the insulating film by electroless plating. A method may also be used in which a concave portion as the wiring pattern is provided to the insulating layer 12 separately from the via hole 14, a power supply layer is formed by electroless plating, sputtering, CVD, or another method, after which the concave portion is filled by electroless plating or electroplating, and the surface is prepared by polishing.
In the present embodiment, a material in which an aramid nonwoven cloth is impregnated with an epoxy resin is used as the insulating layer 12, the via 16 is provided with a via hole 14 by a laser method, and the first wiring layer 11 and second wiring layer 13 are formed by a semi-additive method based on electrolytic copper plating in which an electroless copper coating is used as the power supply layer. The conductor 15 is also formed at the same time as the second wiring layer 13.
This type of wiring board circuit has power wiring, ground wiring, and signal wiring, and the structure of the via 16 of the present invention is provided as needed to all or part of the wiring board. Providing the via of the present invention to the power wiring or ground wiring reduces the wiring resistance of the circuit and improves the power supply voltage drop (IR-Drop), thereby enabling stable operation of the semiconductor element. Furthermore, since the wiring resistance is strictly regulated according to the type of signal in the signal wiring, the via 16 of the present invention becomes necessary.
The embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is a two-layer wiring structure that includes the first wiring layer 11, the second wiring layer 13, and the insulating layer 12, but the present invention is not limited by this configuration, and may also be applied in a wiring structure in which there are three or more wiring layers and two or more insulating layers.
As shown in FIG. 2, according to the manner in which the wiring is routed, a dead space 17 often occurs that is an area in which a via can only be formed having a single shape by the conventional method shown in FIG. 2A, and which cannot be used for routing. However, varying the amount of overlap in the via 16 of the present invention shown in FIG. 2B makes it possible to position the via so that there is no dead space, and the cross-sectional area of the via can be effectively increased. Lower resistance can thereby be obtained in the wiring while minimizing adverse effects on high-density wiring.
According to the present invention, the cross-sectional area of the bottom of the via can be effectively increased, and wiring resistance can be reduced while minimizing adverse effects on the wiring density. Stable operation of the semiconductor element can therefore be achieved.
The method for manufacturing the wiring board according to an embodiment of the present invention will next be described. FIGS. 4A through 4C are sectional views showing the sequence of steps in the method for manufacturing a wiring board according to this embodiment of the present invention. Although not specifically mentioned herein, appropriate rinsing and heat treatment are also performed as needed.
As shown in FIG. 4A, a first wiring layer 11 is formed on a carrier board 10. The primary component of this first wiring layer 11 is formed from at least one type of material selected from the group consisting of copper, gold, nickel, aluminum, silver, and palladium, and may be formed, for example, by a subtractive method, a semi-additive method, a full additive method, or another method. The subtractive method is a method for obtaining the desired pattern by forming a resist in the desired pattern on a copper foil provided on a board, etching the excess foil, and then peeling off the resist. The semi-additive method is a method for obtaining the desired wiring pattern by forming a power supply layer by electroless plating, sputtering, CVD, or another method, then forming a resist having the desired pattern, depositing metal in the open portion of the resist by an electroplating method, removing the resist, and etching the power supply layer. The full additive method is a method for obtaining the desired wiring pattern by causing an electroless plating catalyst to be adsorbed onto a board, then forming a pattern in a resist, activating the catalyst with the resist still remaining as an insulating film, and depositing metal in the open portion of the insulating film by electroless plating. A method may also be used in which a concave portion is shaped as the wiring pattern in an insulating layer (not shown in the drawing) to which the first wiring layer 11 is provided, a power supply layer is formed by electroless plating, sputtering, CVD, or another method, after which the concave portion is filled by electroless plating or electroplating, and the surface is prepared by polishing.
Then, as shown in FIG. 4B, the insulating layer 12 is layered on the first wiring layer 11, and a via hole 14 is formed so that the first wiring layer 11 is exposed. When the material used for the insulating layer 12 is a liquid, the insulating layer 12 may be formed using a spin coater, a die coater, a curtain coater, a pulling method, a printing method, or the like. When the insulating layer 12 is a sheet, the insulating layer 12 may be formed using a hot press, a vacuum press, a heated vacuum press, a laminator, a vacuum laminator, or the like. When the insulating layer 12 is composed of an inorganic material, the insulating layer 12 may be formed by sputtering, CVD, or the like. The via hole 14 may be formed by photolithography so as to conform to the cross-sectional shape of the via 16 when a photosensitive material is used. When a non-photosensitive material or a photosensitive material having a low pattern resolution is used, the via hole 14 may be formed by laser machining, dry etching, or blasting. Since such via holes 14 are formed one at a time by laser machining, the cross-sectional shape of the via 16 of the present invention can be obtained by changing the position of the laser 18 and performing laser machining so that some of the laser-machined regions overlap, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B. When the via 16 is formed by a process in which a plated post is formed in advance in the position of the via 16, after which an insulating film is formed, the surface of the insulating film is ground down by polishing, and the plated post is exposed, there is no need to provide the via hole 14 in advance to the insulating layer 12.
A second wiring layer 13 is then formed on the insulating layer 12, as shown in FIG. 4C. In the present embodiment, the conductor 15 inside the via hole 14 is formed at the same time as the second wiring layer 13. The second wiring layer 13 may be formed, for example, by a subtractive method, a semi-additive method, a full additive method, or another method. The subtractive method is a method for obtaining the desired pattern by forming a resist in the desired pattern on a copper foil provided on a board, etching the excess foil, and then peeling off the resist. The semi-additive method is a method for obtaining the desired wiring pattern by forming a power supply layer by electroless plating, sputtering, CVD, or another method, then forming a resist having the desired pattern, depositing metal in the open portion of the resist by an electroplating method, removing the resist, and etching the power supply layer. The full additive method is a method for obtaining the desired wiring pattern by causing an electroless plating catalyst to be adsorbed onto a board, then forming a pattern in a resist, activating the catalyst with the resist still remaining as an insulating film, and depositing metal in the open portion of the insulating film by an electroless plating method. A method may also be used in which a concave portion as the wiring pattern is provided to the insulating layer 12 separately from the via hole 14, a power supply layer is formed by electroless plating, sputtering, CVD, or another method, the concave portion is then filled by electroless plating or electroplating, and the surface is prepared by polishing.
The structure of the wiring board of the first embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 can be efficiently obtained by the wiring board manufacturing method according to the embodiment of the present invention described above.
A first modification of the wiring board of the first embodiment of the present invention will next be described with reference to FIG. 6. FIG. 6 shows the step for forming the second wiring layer 13, wherein the via hole 14 is filled with the conductor 15 following the step shown in FIG. 4B. By using a plating solution that readily fills the concave portion as the plating solution used in the electroplating process for the second wiring layer 13, the inside of the via hole 14 can be filled with the conductor.
In this first modification, since the via 16 is filled in, the danger of air bubbles becoming trapped in the concave portion as shown in FIG. 4C can be avoided, and the reliability of the micro-via is enhanced. It also becomes possible to form a separate via at the top of the via 16.
A second modification of the wiring board of the first embodiment of the present invention will next be described. FIGS. 7A and 7B show the step for forming the conductor 15 and second wiring layer 13, wherein the via hole 14 is filled with the conductor 15 following the step shown in FIG. 4B.
As shown in FIG. 7A, the via hole 14 formed in FIG. 4B is filled with the conductor 15. When the filled material is a soldering material or a conductive paste, the conductor 15 can be formed by screen printing, injection, or the like. When the via hole 14 is formed by a laser method, a method may be used whereby a protective film is provided in advance to the surface of the insulating layer 12, the via hole 14 is formed at the same time by laser machining, a soldering material or a conductive paste is printed on the protective film without a printing mask, and the protective film is finally removed. The conductor 15 may also be formed by electroplating when it is possible to supply a current from the first wiring layer 11. When a soldering material is used, the first wiring layer 11 and the second wiring layer 13 can be bonded together by performing heat treatment as appropriate at a temperature which melts the soldering material.
After the conductor 15 is formed, the second wiring layer 13 may be formed, for example, by a subtractive method, a semi-additive method, a full additive method, or another method, as shown in FIG. 7B. The subtractive method is a method for obtaining the desired pattern by forming a resist in the desired pattern on a copper foil provided on a board, etching the excess foil, and then peeling off the resist. The semi-additive method is a method for obtaining the desired wiring pattern by forming a power supply layer by electroless plating, sputtering, CVD, or another method, then forming a resist having the desired pattern, depositing metal in the open portion of the resist by an electroplating method, removing the resist, and etching the power supply layer. The full additive method is a method for obtaining the desired wiring pattern by causing an electroless plating catalyst to be adsorbed onto a board, then forming a pattern in a resist, activating the catalyst with the resist still remaining as an insulating film, and depositing metal in the open portion of the insulating film by electroless plating. A method may also be used in which a concave portion as the wiring pattern is provided to the insulating layer 12 separately from the via hole 14, and a power supply layer is formed by electroless plating, sputtering, CVD, or another method, after which the concave portion is filled by electroless plating or electroplating, and the surface is prepared by polishing.
In the second modification described above, since the via 16 is filled in the same manner as in the first modification, the danger of air bubbles becoming trapped in the concave portion as shown in FIG. 4C can be avoided, and the reliability of the micro-via is enhanced. It also becomes possible to form a separate via at the top of the via 16.
